|  Killa Bee - First time building a kit
Bought my first kit ever, an SCX10.3. Putting it together went without much problems, except burning the 2-speed servo right away, so it's stuck on low for now. Electronics: Tekin 5-slot, 16T motor, HW1080 ESC, 35 kg DSSERVO, Castle BEC at 7.4V. Running at 3S. Decided to go a bit wild with the body, designed some custom masks and had them cut at a local shop, the masking job took about 3 hours. The painting including the drying time for each color took almost a whole day. I'm working on the interior now, and some of the body details like window seals and stuff like that.     |

Hey folks, so I have a pretty noticeable clicking noise in the transmission, which I know a lot of other people have too, and I checked and regreased everything. However my clicking noise is way worse going forward and almost unnoticeable in reverse. Any thoughts what could be wrong? |

If one reads up on this issue that seems to be the problem... Misalignment more or less. Or poor building quality... | |

I did, I rebuilt the transmission and it still clicks. Annoying but I'll run it until it breaks and then see what can be done. | |

Just saw this over on SBG. You'll probably have to mount a TF2 body and make some little scale beer cans to get any love from that crowd haha.

haha I noticed that... I would have thought they were more receptive. Maybe a scale bong?  | |

Don’t get me wrong there’s some massive talent on display over there but they do love them some RC4WD. Don’t see a lot of crawling/action shots, a lot of builds and styrene and sanding...I lurk for ideas but tbh the scale detail thing is a rabbit hole to me, don’t want to go down it except maybe a paint job.
